A fairly traditional dish dedicated to Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the victor of the Battle of Waterloo. It's not really cheap either, with prices per kilo for beef fillet being around €100/$100.
The recipe probably comes from the older French Filet de boeuf au crôute. The Wellington variant appeared in German-language cookbooks around 1900. I can hardly think of a reason why the Grande Nation would honor its conqueror...

Blini are the ideal accompaniment to smoked salmon and caviar in Russian cuisine. They come in a wide variety of forms, such as American pancakes, German pancakes, crepes and Dutch poffertje. So far, I had preferred the shape of the smaller German pancake, which you can eat with a bite if necessary, because that actually belongs in the area of finger food.
This time I tried the crepe/galette version. The result doesn't quite...

The “Leberkäse” (liver cheese) or “Fleischkäse” (meat cheese) is a special meatloaf, minced in a cutter as fine as the meat for Wiener. It has nothing to do with liver or cheese, the name came from the medieval German words for loaf (Laib) and for minced sausage meat. So the original word was “Laiberkas”.
Some recipes contains also eggs and bread or flour and therefor they can’t be denoted as sausage, they belong to...

Ossobuco means marrow bones or bone with a hole, whereby the leg bone is meant in the middle of a leg slice. Ossobuco is a classic recipe of the Italian cuisine, where there are the modifications osso buco, osso buco Milanese (butter as frying fat, tomato paste) and osso buco in Lombardian style (alla gremolada, chopped lemon zest, tomato puree, sage).
With the Italian veal it also has a special feature. In Italy the in Germany usual...

An essential accompaniment to the Palatinate jacket potatoes is, besides the Hausmacher sausage, the white cheese, which in other German regions is simply called herbal quark/curd cheese. In the simplest case, quark is either mixed with chives or spring onions and salt and allowed to marinate for one hour. You can enrich it with garlic and chili pepper, but this is no longer original Palatine.
If you e.g. live in the U.S. and can not...

These are typical East Asian fast food dishes, which are often sold at street stalls. It is actually the same dish and can be prepared with cooked rice or soaked wheat noodles. According to my Indonesian cookbook by Sri Owen, Indonesians and Chinese are blaming each other for this recipe, so I suspect that Chinese immigrants to Indonesia have taken their recipe to Indonesia and developed it there using typical Indonesian...

The English breakfast is an institution in all Anglo-Saxon shaped countries and has also found its way into the international cuisine.
It always consists of fried eggs with fried bacon and mostly the small breakfast sausages, the Bangers. These I have replaced with Nuremberg sausages. Very often is a vegetable there, mostly fried tomatoes but I’ve seen it already with gherkin. In England and the United States are almost baked beans...

Rutabaga unfortunately have a bad reputation in Germany, which still stems from the notorious rutabaga winter 1916/1917 in Germany during the First World War. Even in the first years of hunger after the Second World War, the rutabaga were again the first choice to alleviate the food shortage.
In the 1990s, the rutabaga suddenly became sociable again and I just tried this stew and with enough good ingredients, they are very...

It goes again to the autumn and autumn is known as stew time. What we had long ago, was a chicken soup or stew.
As described in the previous post, we have a lot of chicken stock and, inevitably, chicken meat. Half of a huge greens was overcooked to the taste of the broth, the other half came cut small in the chicken stew. In contrast to the original recipe, the chicken was about 3 kg and we had the half. Thus, there were 4 servings...

Kale is considered here in Germany as a German specialty. In fact, it is more widespread than is generally believed here. It is the closest relative of the cultivated wild cabbage and is known since the 3rd century BC in Greece. Many European nations introduced it already at early days of colonization in America. 2014 there was a real culinary hype in the US on kale.
To get back to Germany, kale is a specialty in Lower Saxony,...
